Controversial bill for samosas and namkeen<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 29, a 300-meter CC road was consecrated in Parasi ‘A’ Gram Panchayat of Manpur Janpad Panchayat in Umaria district. The surprising thing is that 43 thousand rupees were spent on a 30-minute program. After the bill became public, questions are being raised in the village and political circles. Janpad Panchayat officials have talked about investigating the bill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the bill, 6 thousand rupees were shown as spent on samosas and 4 thousand rupees on namkeen. Including other food items and arrangements, the total expenditure was stated to be around 43 thousand rupees.<\/p>\n

MLA and several public representatives participated in the program<\/strong><\/p>\n

MLA Meena Singh, District Panchayat President Anuja Patel, Janpad Panchayat President Mamta Singh, and other public representatives participated in the program. Arrangements were made for worship, welcoming guests, and refreshments. This road is being built at a cost of 12 lakh rupees.<\/p>\n
